I currently have a Ping G2 driver with a Fujikara speeder shaft. I'm looking at getting a new driver and would love to get a Titleist 910/913. Would I be able to put this Fujikara in a Titleist or not?

Thanks for the response. I'm still confused though, I've seen shafts for sale that say "tipped for Titleist" etc. so I'm wondering if the tip of my shaft has been fitted for ping clubs or can it be used in other brands. Does that makes sense?

The adjustable drivers these days have adapters on the ends of the shafts. This is so you can change the loft, etc.  Each manufacturer has their own adapters that, of course, do not fit on other brands.  But you could pull the shaft from your Ping driver and put it into a Titleist driver.  You would just have to remove one adapter and put on another.  They cost about $20.

Since the Titleist woods and hybrids now have a Surefit Tip to adapt into them if you can find someone to put that adapter onto the shaft you can use the same shaft!

Here's what you will have to do, get the current shaft pulled from the G20.

Buy a new Titleist driver, have its shaft pulled with out damaging the adapter, then have the new shaft put in.

Warning though, if the G20 wood is a 0.350 diameter tip you WILL NOT be able to put it in your Titleist, they only use 0.335 diameter tip shafts.

Hmmm. I'm not sure about the tip diameter I have. Are all of these models the the 335 diameter. Mine is an older version. It looks like the G2 fits a 350. Is there anyway to tell if my tip just has an adapter on it to make it 350? And if it does, will this be able to be removed to fit a 335 club? Thanks again for all the help.

Not entirely sure. But if it isn't a 0.350 then it should be a 0.335 diameter.

Well this is the shaft I currently have (old Speeder). Is it even worth the hassle of putting to into a Titleist 910 D2? Or is the Diamana 'ahina 72 by Mitsubishi just as good?

the 'ahina is a very solid shaft. The only problem is still is that shaft a 0.350. Also getting it put in a Titleist might be an issue. I think you can pay Titleist to do it, I read somewhere it was like 40 bucks plus shipping and handling. You send the shaft to Titleist and they will install it for you.

I saw that the G2 was 350, but I wasn't sure if the person before me had put some sort of adapter on the Speeder to make it fit. Like maybe the Speeder is a 335 with an adapter that could be removed to be a 335 again.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
